Windows 7: Installing Windows 7

So i am trying to install Windows 7 from my cd/dvd, I currently have Zorin OS.
At the section where I have to choose between 2 disks, I have Disk 0 Partition 1 and Disk 1 Partition 2. They both have the same error:

Windows cannot be installed on this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS.
Windows cannot be installed on this hard disk space. The partition is of an unrecognized type.

Does anyone know how to help me out of this? I would like to install Window 7 and remove linux/unbuntu.

Pick the drive you want to install Windows 7 on and remove all other drives.
Then just follow this tutorial by Brink and you shouldn't have any problems if the hardware is working properly.Just for a little insurance; if their is any data of the drive you are going to use for the clean install I would recommend backing it up to another drive first.

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
I doubt any windows operation will get rid of or clean a linux grub
You'd have better luck using a Linux live cd or flash media and gpart to clean and reformat to unallocated or ntfs.
